Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck get married in Las Vegas

Jul 18 2022

Hollywood stars Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have gotten married in a surprisingly tiny event, all away from the public eye. Like many other people do to obtain a quick marriage, the couple got hitched in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Court records obtained by TMZ and Page Six have revealed the couple got a marriage license in Clark County, Nevada over the weekend. Jennifer has reportedly taken Ben’s last name and will legally be known as Jennifer Lynn Affleck, according to the court documents.

In a newsletter to her fans, Mrs Affleck said: ““We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient… Love is a great thing, maybe the best of things-and worth waiting for.

This isn’t the first time the couple got engaged, as Ben first popped the question back in 2002 after filming the film Gigli together. Due to intense pressure from fans and media they decided to call off the wedding in 2004. However they rekindled their relationship in 2021.

Lopez revealed on her website how Affleck popped the question to her. She wrote in a blog post that on “Saturday night while at my favourite place on earth (in the bubble bath), my beautiful love got on one knee and proposed.”

She added: “[I] just looked in his eyes smiling and crying at the same time trying hard to get my head around the fact that after 20 years this was happening all over again…I was quite literally speechless and he said, ‘Is that a yes?’ I said, ‘YES of course that’s a YES.’”

Revolut once again accepting new Maltese customers

Jul 18 2022

Times of Malta has confirmed that the popular banking app Revolut is once again accepting new costumers hailing from Malta.

This follows a report by the same news portal that Revolut had temporarily put on hold any newcomers from the island. Despite this, no direct reason for the decision was given, with Malta also removed from the list of ‘supported countries.’

Existing users were unaffected and now, one month following the temporary ban, the app started accepting new clients with a Maltese address.

A spokesperson told Times of Malta that new users can set up a Revolut account but would not divulge the reason for both the initial pause and its reversal.

Sources within the finance industry suggested to the news portal that the move was prompted by an attempt at cost mitigation and that Revolut was concerned over the cost of regulatory and risk compliance requirements from operating in the Maltese market.

One out of five students have failed Maths and Maltese O Levels

Jul 18 2022

One out of every five O Level students who sat for their all important Maths exam failed, with very similar results also occurring when it comes to Maltese. Both of these subjects are two of the main core subjects, with the only other core subject being English.

Up until last year, a pass mark in all three subjects was needed in order to study at major sixth forms such as Junior College. However this rule has changed and now students don’t need a pass in all three core subjects for Sixth Form but just a pass in all three is required for any University of Malta course.

Of the three core subjects, students performed worst in Maths, with over 20 per cent of those who sat for the exam only managing an unclassified grade or better known as a ‘U’.

Stats for the Maltese exam were not far off with 17 per cent of all students who sat down for the exam obtaining a fail mark. Students performed much better in English with only 12 per cent of the year failing the exam.

However, only 184 students scored a top grade in English. Despite this, an improvement over 2021 in English was still noted. This could not be said for the other two subjects however.
